Preparation and properties of nanoparticles of zein peptide-maltodextrin conjugates co-assembled with α-tocopherol
Zein peptide-maltodextrin (pep-MD) conjugates were prepared by the Maillard reaction. Pep-MD conjugates co-assembled with α-tocopherol (TOC) to create composite nanoparticles by the desolvation method. The effect of fabrication parameters on nanoparticles was investigated. The size and ζ-potential of nanoparticles were affected by concentration of conjugates
ratio of zein peptide and TOC
and pH. Nanoparticles could be controlled between 80—100 nm with negative surface charge (-23 to -32 mV) through adjusting fabrication parameters
as evidenced by dynamic light scattering and ζ-potential. Compared with zein peptide and zein peptide/maltodextrin (pep/MD) mixtures
pep-MD conjugates provided better loading efficiency of TOC and protection against the change of pH.
